RESIDENTIAL REVIEW
|
| |
|
OVERVIEW
 |
| |
|
| |
The department's residential review process was created by statute in order to ensure that teams who are considering residential services for a student understand the full range of educational options available as early in the process as possible.
A school district must notify the department when it believes residential placement is a possible option for inclusion in a student's IEP. The residential review process begins when an school district sends a notification form which indicates the IEP team is considering residential placement or when there is a parental inquiry for residential placement and the department has received the IEP and Comprehensive Evaluation from the school district.

Description of Charts and Forms for Potential Residential Placement of Students
- Residential Review Flowchart
This chart explains the process schools/districts need to use when considering a residential placement for a student. 16 V.S.A. s2958 states that “a school district shall notify the parents and the commissioner when it believes residential placement is a possible option for inclusion in a child’s individualized education plan.”
- Residential Forms
This document contains three forms for use when considering, verifying and/or terminating a residential placement.
- Special Education Expenditure Report Form (Worksheet B)
This is the request for reimbursement for students whose costs exceed $50,000. The department requires comprehensive evaluations and IEP’s that cover all of the dates of service for which reimbursement is requested.
- Request for Exception for Non-Approved Residential Schools
Information for this request must be sent to the Residential Placement Consultant at least a month before a student is placed at a non-approved residential school.
